the equation in the slope-intercept of the side of triangle ABC that is perpendicular to segment EF is y = x + 1

<h3>How to determine the equation</h3>

From the figure given, we can deduce the coordinates of the sides

For A

A ( 4,2)

For B

B ( 4, 5)

C ( 1, 2)

D ( 2, -4 )

E ( 5, -4)

F ( 2, -1)

The slope for BC

Slope = $\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

Substitute the values for both B and C coordinates, we have

Slope = $\frac{2- 5}{1 - 4}$

Find the difference for both the numerator and denominator

Slope = $\frac{-3}{-3}$

Slope = 1

We have the rotation for both point ( 0, 1)

y - y1 = m ( x - x1)

The values for y1 and x1 are 1 and 0 respectively and the slope m is 1

Substitute the values

y - 1 = 1 ( x - 0)

y - 1 = x

Make 'y' the subject of formula

y = x + 1

Thus, the equation in the slope-intercept of the side of triangle ABC that is perpendicular to segment EF is y = x + 1
